Karen S. Fire 1945-2025 | News, sports, jobs

Karen was born on December 21, 1945 in Brownton, W.Va., as the daughter of the late Robert and Ada Snyder Tait. As a child, she moved to Mahoning Valley and completed the Campbell Memorial High School before visiting the Youngstown College.

Karen spent a large part of her working life as an employee for several retail stores in the Youngstown area, most recently at Kohl's in the Boardman Park shops before retiring.

She was a committed member of Christ, the good Shepherd Parish-St. John the Baptist Church in Campbell.

Karen, a talented baker, was known for her delicious cookies and kolache. She also had a deep love of nature and enjoyed spending time outdoors where her green thumb seemed brightly in her beautiful flower gardens. Her family and friends will always remember their generosity, especially their dedication to them. She appreciated the time she had spent with her children, grandchildren and big dogs, and she particularly enjoyed baby and share the life of her grandchildren.

She will always be remembered as a strong woman who was a guiding light, a moral compass and a woman who always asks her family in front of herself-not to help, but always to help others.
